Acoustic levitator from Asier Marzo is a very popular thing here on instructables. I build it, it was working but I noticed couple of issues. For example: The 3D printed space between bowls is a bit fragile. The levitator can’t stand on its own because of its curvature. All the electronics are fragile and a […]

DIY Attiny Programming Shield
If you are looking for a small and low powered Arduino board the Attiny is a really good option, its surprisingly featureful for it’s size. It has 5 GPIO pins, 3 of which are Analog pins and 2 which have PWM output. It is also really flexible to the voltage that it runs off (2.7V […]
Motorized Window Blinds Controller
For this project you will be creating a device that is capable of opening and closing window blinds, both automatically and manually (via a push button), based upon a time schedule and sensor data from a light dependent resistor. In addition, this device will be able to display messages to the user. I personally embarked […]
Arduino Perpetual Calendar Clock
The clock uses 2 electro mechanical clock movements controlled by an Arduino to display the Day and Month. A third quartz controlled movement displays the time tide Low or High tide. The Calendar is fully automatic and takes into account leap years as well as summer and winter time changes. The clock also has full […]
DIY Word Clock
Today, I will show you how to build a Word Clock. It is basically a clock which displays time using words. I will also show you how to use a Shift Register and RTC using a microcontroller. Shift Register can come in very handy if you run out of pins in a microcontroller, so its a good […]
Music Reactive Infinite Mirror
Hi fellow makers! This is a project I’ve been working on for my Makerspace class at Collégial international Sainte-Anne. I truly hope you will like it! *I’m sorry about the focus being bad. It was almost impossible to obtain a great focus since the LEDs were constantly flashing.* The topic to which this project is related: […]
Electronic Chameleon
Ever wondered how the chameleon changes its colour through the changes in environmental colours? There’s something called Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone or MSH. If you want to dig more into this please follow this Link. The stories apart, I wanted to build ambient lighting system or something like the chameleon. This looks cool and also it helps […]
Automatic Drone Lap Timer – 3D Printed, Arduino Powered.
I’ve been growing more and more interested in the idea of First Person Video (FPV) drone racing. I’ve recently acquired a small drone and wanted a way of timing my laps – this is the resulting project. This drone landing pad features an integrated ultrasonic sensor that detects a drones presence. When a drone departs […]
Cheap and Simple Arduino Eggbot
In this Instructables I want to show how to make a simple and cheap arduino plotter that can draw on eggs or other spherical objects. In addition, soon Easter and this homemade will be very handy Step 1: Watch the Video Step 2: Materials List of materials: -Arduino Uno -2х Stepper motor (28BYJ-48) -2x Stepper […]
Arduino CNC Drawing Machine (or the Road to Success)
This project is based on mostly items which are easy to find. The idea is to take two unused computer disk units and combine them to create an automated drawing machine which resembles a CNC machine. The pieces used out of the drives include the motors and railings from both of the drives and the […]
